Willowick police say man attempted to solicit women

Willowick Police warned residents about two occurrences of a man soliciting women in the city on Friday evening. Authorities received reports of two similar incidents occurring on East 330th Street and in the parking lot of Shoregate Towers, police said.

The women told police a male, who appeared as if he might be deaf, held out a cell phone that said, "If I give you this diamond ring, will you give me something in return?"

The male did show the women a ring, but when each woman denied his request he drove away.

The suspect is described as a white, heavy set male with dark curly hair possibly wearing a Carhartt-type coat.
